A couple wet spots out, especially on the parts of the east bay and the south bay where the rain most recently fell. And we may also have a couple of puddles leftover where in some very small spots where we had up to about 0. 25 of rain. It is tapering off and that will be the case over the next hour or so when most people get on those roadways. And a look at how much rain we had the north bay. Up to close to 0. 25 and in San Francisco 0. 1 and other areas were a little bit less. Just trace amounts. As you head over to the east bay, some areas that were pretty seeing nothing and then you have 0. 25 in danville.

The latest crash, although not a lot happening right now. The latest crash right here. This is north 101 at the cport boulevard off ramp. Thats basically 84 getting over through menlo park and over here we have the report of a car backwards into the bushes. That sounds like the car spun around at the off ramp. No major injuries, but we are watching that. Again, as we look at the san mateo bridge coming over the span, a lighter flow of traffic just building and watching the slick roadways in many spots for the peninsula and the south bay.

That School District pays officer os to patrol some of theirses which is common, but we discovered there is no written policy detailing when or how the school should involve those officers. While some students are getting criminal records for their bad behavior, the School District says that is not their problem. Im not saying that my son should not have been disciplined. Im upset that theyre taking it to a new level. Not something that you think a student should have been arrested for. No. Tonight at 11 00, the kind of antics that are getting some kids arrested at school. And stuck with a criminal history, as well, that could affect their record even as an adult.
